wow he is great but on the description why are there all little boxes? thanks

[hacona]

i think each of the little boxes is supposed to be a Chinese character.

[shakuhachi]

this is stunning!!! who is the composer?

[hacona]

The composer is the soloist himself! haha...

[winwinkoh]

this tune deplicts the various stages in a human life, the human nature coming from different mood changes and finally breaking through. All these life conditions are intepreted in the tune just as natural metamorphosis !

this song depicts the ardous journey of the silk road merchants when they travel to obtain silk from foreign lands. the front portion, the slow part actually imitates the chimes and ticking of an old clock as time reverses for a thousand years. the fast portion depicts the glorious scenes of india and china during that era.

Wow, thanks @winwinkoh and @saintkelvin86 I now appreciate this piece more now that I know the story behind it.

春蠶到死絲方盡 蠟炬成灰淚始乾

[saintkelvin86]

well.. that's what my friend told me. she performed this piece solo a few months back..

[xingfenzhen]

Great interpretation, but I doubt that's the author's intent. Since the Chinese title is "spring silkworm" and it supposed to in a series of compositions calls "human life". so perhaps it's about metamorphosis

[seniorwisdom]

I LOve it!!!!!!
